Speaker Information

Lyota Swainson
Lyota Swainson is the founder of Core Radiance, a holistically developed line focused on maintaining hair and scalp health for a diverse client base with varying needs. Drawing from her own personal experience with hair loss and damage, while living in Stockholm, Sweden, Lyota began extensive research and was able to develop a highly effective method to help treat her hair loss. Her story is very similar to other people who have had very similar issues. Unsure of the cause for her hair loss Lyota approached experts who indicated her diet caused her hair loss but none of the recommended solutions worked. What needed to be done was opposite from typical hair care beliefs and practices. Through heightened awareness of the fallacies in proper hair maintenance, growth and treatment, Core Radiance was formed to meet the demand for not only products that achieve desired results, but the education in how to effectively treat the issue of hair loss.
